Defoe's decision to not mention the merchant's name in "Robinson Crusoe" contributes to the novel's realism. By omitting specific details, he allows readers to focus on the general themes of survival, isolation, and redemption. This universalizes the story and enables readers to connect with the character on a more personal level.

The Father, he is never named, but from the title it can be extrapolated his name is Mr. Robinson.
Daniel Defoe's father, James Foe, was a successful butcher in London. Defoe added the "De" prefix to his last name later in life to sound more prestigious.

While they may have the same last name...no, there is no family history connection between Willem Defoe and Daniel Defoe. Daniel Defoe was born in the United Kingdom in 1660 and Willem Defoe was born in Appleton, WI in 1955.
He used to sign his name D dot Defoe - the dot however had a tail and looked like an E and because of people's poor spelling etc back then many people mistook the name as being Defoe and so it stuck. Regards, Zoe Defoe, UK
Of uncertain origin; probably an Anglicized form of a French Huguenot name.

No, Daniel Defoe is not single.
Daniel Defoe is best known by his own name, but he occasionally used the pen name "Captain Charles Johnson" when writing about piracy and publishing works like "A General History of the Pirates." Defoe is most famous for his novel "Robinson Crusoe," which is often regarded as one of the first English novels. While "Captain Charles Johnson" is not a direct pen name for Defoe himself, it is associated with his writings on piracy.
